Rachel was born on 7 July 1743, died 22 Oct 1822. So the age of Daniel may also be incorrect. Their Math skills were not always the greatest back then. He would have been 34 at his death. Since his 7 children children were born between 1762 and 1773 to his two wives, I kinda doubt he was 63 when his youngest was born. While not being impossible, being 22 thru 33 years of age at his children's births makes more sense. I have also seen those old tombstones, the numbers were very ornate and easily misread.
